RANGE HOT-CLOSET DOOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 479,857, dated August 2, 1892.

Application filed May 2, 1892. Serial No. 431,575. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN TETTELBACH, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Clevecooking-ranges; and it consists in the new construction and combination, as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a hot-closet having my.

invention applied. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of same.

A represents a range-closet of the wellknown pattern. B is the door.

As a means for opening and closing the door I have provided a device as follows: C is a grooved angle-iron made in the form of a square, with a round corner at the bend. Two of theseone a right-hand and one a lefthandare fixed to theinside walls at each end of the closet by means of lugs or ears and rivets, or other manner, with the front arm of the iron set at an angle of about ten degrees from the perpendicular and also giving the top arm an inclination downward toward the rear, as shown in the drawings, the object of which will be seen later on.

D is an angle-iron secured to the ends of the inside surface of the door and has two rear projections E F, provided with pins,

which ridein the grooves of theironsO. The upper projection E is much wider than the lower one, in order to bring the front side of the iron on a parallel line with the door, and the position of said iron on the dooris such as to bring the pin on the side projection E into the bend of the grooved iron B when the door is closed, which enables the door to be more readily and easily opened. 4

A suitable handle is attached to the lower edge of the door for moving it.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the movements in open ng and closing the door are very simple. By lifting on the handle the top of the doorimmediately moves backward, While the lower edge of the door moves in the curve indicated by the dotted lines and the wide end of iron D rides down the incline. door easy to perform and prevents the door from jarring forward when open.

Having described my invention, I claim- The combination, with the door and end Walls of the closet, of the grooved angle-iron C and the angle-iron D, havingwide and narrow projections E F, provided with pins rid ing in the groove of iron 0, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
